The drivers back seat seatbelt failed. My daughter and I were driving, and I had to stop suddenly, her car seat had been secured with the seatbelt and the seatbelt unlatched and sent her car seat flying through the cab of the truck.

While driving my 2020 Ram Rebel, the driver side seat belt locked up and will no longer retract. I took the vehicle into the Larry H. Miller Chrysler dodge dealership and they attempted to fix it but they were not successful. My truck only has 58,809 miles on it and they stated that it was no longer under warranty and that I would have to pay to replace it (roughly $750). Prior to the seatbelt locking, there were no indications that something was wrong. I believe not having a seatbelt that works properly puts myself or anyone else that would drive my vehicle at great risk if there was an accident.

Ive had the truck for 3 months and airbag light came on. Had it diagnosed to find it has a bad sensor in the seatbelt pretensioner that is stopping the passenger airbag from deploying and the seatbelt from locking. This is a major problem and should be a recall as I had it fixed and paid almost $600 to have replaced. I've called Stelantis and they offer no help as if it becomes a recall in the future they will possibly reimburse me they say.

I started my truck up one morning and the airbag system light came on. Took it to the dealership and they reported fault code B007F-13 and recommended immediately replacing faulty passenger seatbelt retractor. For some reason my truck was not included in safety recall W67. Dealership quoted out-of-pocket fix was $800. I drove around for several months with the airbag light on because I could not afford to fix. Dealership is finally fixing today. They are applying the same fix they have made to other 2019 Dodge Ram trucks in the recall group. This is a major safety issue and negligence to not include all vehicles affected by this malfunction. My truck should have been included in the recall if it is getting the exact same safety recall fix as other models in the same year.

The seat belt locks and then when I unlatch it and try to put it back on, I can't because it stays locked and won't pull AT ALL to be able to put it back on.
